Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Hi , I had bcbs of al and they gave me the run around until LInda T called them. Then things fell into place. Thank goodness. It is about a 10 hour drive for us, but it's cheaper than two airline tickets and we can drive others around if they need a ride. WE have a mini van. I can't decide where to stay. I have heard lots of this and that. I'd like to know which hotel had the seperate bedroom wtih two tvs. Maybe someone will read this post and tell me. I know I have seen that criteria posted before.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2000 Report Share Posted August 4, 2000 Dinah, My headaches went away so far, I just wasn't sure if it had anything to do with potassium or maybe something like that. I did e-mail Dr.R and he told me to " Go to my headache Dr. and that was it?? hmmmmmm so I am glad they went away. I felt kinda silly after I got that response. Anyways They charged $65.00 a night, that is a special rate for Dr.R's patients, My husband put it on the charge and I can't find the receipt. Call me if ya want (864)284-6060. I bet you are gettin excited!!! marge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2000 Report Share Posted August 4, 2000 Good Morning Margie, How are you doing?Did you find you something for the headache? Maybe if you are still not better today you should e- mail doc. What did the Duke Towers charge for the week. I need to get on the stick and make reservations, but as usual I've been reading the computer. lol Dinah > In a message dated 08/03/2000 11:37:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > CMo6331945@a... writes: > > << I'd like to know which hotel had the seperate bedroom wtih two > tvs. Maybe someone will read this post and tell me.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Pattie, Welcome to the list. I too am still in the process of coping. My daughter was diagnosed in November of 2002. She is now 11 months old and doing remarkably well. I can totally sympathize with you, I too cry myself to sleep at night and still get very angry (I'm not really sure at who) but I get angry about the whole thing. It's not fair to the kids that have to live with CF. I hope that your daughter is doing well, and as time comes things get better. I have found this list to be very informative and supportive. Everyone here knows what you are going through and are always here for you if you need them. There is no such thing as a stupid question, as I have probably asked many myself. I hope that you will turn to us on the list should you have ANY questions: ) Katy Mom to Austin almost 4 w/o CF & Piper 11 months w/CF MUNCH313@... wrote: Hi everyone, My name is Pattie and my six year old daughter was diagnosed with CF last February. It's been a crazy year for all of us. There have been nights when I cry myself to sleep and days when I wish we could run away from it all. But I have learned alot about coping from this brave little six year old. It's amazing how strong she is. Her knowledge and understanding of her disease amazes the people around her. I have promised her nothing but honesty when it comes to the medicines, the doctors, the procedures and most importantly CF. Don't get me wrong she gets angry at all the " fuss " , gets embarrased when shes coughing too much or when mommy annoys her about washing her hands and the like. But I'm so proud of her as I'm sure all of you are of your little ones. Isn't it amazing how much stress is involved, but at the end of the day we can trully say how proud of our children we are. thank you for inviting me to the list and thank you for listening.
